San Francisco Bay Area burlesque for May 26 - June 1, 2011

This week's schedule will feature a unique show, a holiday favorite, and the return of a burlesque show from the past.

This Thursday will see the return of Bombshell Betty's Haute House Burlesque with Bombshell Betty's Burlesqueteers at Milk Bar in San Francisco. It's been over two years since the last Haute House Burlesque show, and this one will continue on the fourth Thursday of each month. It will be in addition to Bombshell Betty's other shows at the Elbo Room in San Francisco and the Uptown Club in Oakland.

It's Memorial Day, so it's time for San Francisco's Carnaval Grand Parade! So that means that the Hot Pink Feathers will be dancing up a storm come Sunday in the Mission District. They'll be #47 of 65, so make sure to keep an eye out for them if you go to the parade! And afterwards, they'll be at an after party at the Casanova Lounge at 527 Valencia.

The San Francisco Sex Worker Festival will be presenting the Get the Money Up Front Cabaret at SOMArts on Friday evening. This event will feature Alotta Boutté, The Stripping Granny, and Lady Monster, among many other talented artists.

Red Hots Burlesque
will be involved in three shows this week! There's Friday and Wednesday's weekly shows, but they'll also be at the Hubba Hubba Revue's show on Monday night at the Uptown Club for a School of Shimmy alumni show!

And speaking of the Hubba Hubba Revue, they'll have their monthly Cabaret Perilous at the Uptown Club in Oakland. It's a show that tends towards a bit more extreme acts, including sideshow performers such as the Displayed Labors Sideshow, contortionist Nobutaka and even musical group Lee Presson's Fistful of Nails!

Finally, Australia's Baby Blue Bergman will be performing at Baxtalo Drom's The Lucky Road Show on Friday evening, as will Karoline BellyBrass! So that's a show you may want to check out if you're in the area.

Have a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend, everyone! :-)
